Accessing your Git repository

Public repositories

For public Git repositories, you don’t need to add the SSH key provided to your Git account. You simply need to provide the Git URL as either

http://<git provider>/<username>/<repository>.git

or

git://<git provider>/<username>/<repository>.git

Notice

We do not support the use of HTTPS URLs.

This URL is often generated by your Git provider automatically.

Private repositories

For Cloud 66 to access your private repository (with read-only access), you first need to add the SSH provided to your Git account. Follow the instructions on the Get started building your stack page, clicking the How? link.

You can add this SSH key globally to your GitHub account by adding it to your Account settings page, or allow access to a specific repository by adding it as a Deploy key to that repository.

Once this is done, use a Git URL in the following format:

git@<git provider>:<username>/<repository>.git

This URL is often generated by your Git provider automatically.
